PATIENT SAYS...

             13 August 2012    From Tehemtan J. Dhabhar    To whomsoever it may concern.  An encomium for Dr. Shailender MPT.  My first meeting with Dr. Shailender took place in late 2009 when I accompanied my wife for her physiotherapy following the opening of her plaster after she had fractured her wrist. The simple physiotherapy done on her wrist by an earlier PTT was unsatisfactory. She had a bare 60% of the movement and even that hurt.   We then referred to Dr. Shailender. It was a pleasure to watch the way he went about gently moving her arm and gave her simple exercises to do, encouraging her when she was impatient at the slow healing, . She ultimately regained nearly 100% of her movement.   Watching him work with my wife, I was encouraged to ask him to help me with a couple of my painful joints. I was helped considerably and I put a challenge to him. In 1975, whils...

TRAPEZITIS - A common cause of upper back and neck pain

The Physical Health Consultants,Bangalore Trapezius is a large muscle that extends from edge of the skull to upper back area. It is of great functional importance during our day to day activities.Working long hours, using computers, writing drawing or even watching television without adequate breaks; may lead to inflamation /spasm of this muscle.This inflamation may lead to localized pain, radiating pain towards shoulder and sometimes headache as an indirect consequence.The best way to avoid this pain is taking rest between long working hours and folowing a relaxation routine of 2-3 minutes after every 45-60 minutes of work.If pain persists on a regular basis then muscle relaxation techniques used by your physio may help in reducing the pain.In case of severe inflamation, cryotherapy or electro modalities may be used by your physiotherapist to ease up the muscle structure and texture.Never allow such an inflamation to become chronic because that may craete problems to overall co...

Slip Disc (IVDP) - Treatment without side effects

Back spasm does not always lead to Lumbar Spondylitis or Spondylosis. Most of the times you don't even need to take X rays or MRI to get it diagnosed. Muscle spasm and inflammation can be easily diagnosed with specialized manual tests.If any nerve compression or disc prolapse is present that may also show up in the manual tests.Only in case of disc/nerve issues you may be sent for MRI to understand the level of prolapse accurately. Physiotherapy treatment is helpful in resolving these back related problems in the most appropriate manner.Best physiotherapy treatment for back pain involves modalities and techniques which not only subside the pain but treat the mechanical cause of pain completely. Being a drug/medicine free treatment,physiotherapy will not temporarily mask or cover the pain but totally end the cause.One in many cases may be extreme IVDP or slip disc where physiotherapy alone may not be helpful,in such cases a multi pronged approach may be required. Physio ...

RSI and Postural Syndrome

http://www.physicalhealthconsultants.com/the-physio-way.html RSI is largely a consequence of our day to day activities.Repetitive overuse or incorrect use of any muscular group over a long period of time is most often the cause of such problems.Some other terminologies such as Repetitive Movement Disorder and Cumulative Trauma are often interchangeably used to describe the same.Usage of computers in offices has increased the occurrence of such conditions in recent times. Upper back,wrist,neck region and lower back are most common areas of pain for computer professionals(software professional).Most of these pains are avoidable with frequent breaks between working hours,postural corrections and maintenance of regular exercise routines.Other causes of RSI can be attributed to incorrect prolonged postures such as prolonged standing in kitchen may relate to overuse syndrome or repetitive strain over the foot muscles.Watching television half lying on the bed or with the neck turne...

Sciatica Treatment @The Physical Health Consultants, Bangalore

http://www.physicalhealthconsultants.com/the-physio-way.html Sciatica pain is often associated with slip disc (intervertebral disc prolapse) in the lower lumbar spine.Sciatic nerve that is the main nerve supply to legs, is compressed due to the above and thus the sensation passes down to the legs.Pain is mostly felt in the back near nerve roots and radiates towards the legs as a pricking or numbing sensation.Disc compression may be mild or complete,severity of pain depends on that.There are many other factors that lead to similar pain sensation. On proper physical assessment with manual tests,your physio may be able to trace the cause of pain.If needed,MRI or X ray may be done for accurate diagnosis.Radiating sciatic pain that comes due to muscular causes such as hamstring tightness or piriformis muscle spasm may need different approach towards treatment than other reasons such as slip,disc or joint inflammation.Treatment duration varies depending on the cause of pain.Generally d...

Diabetic Polyneuropathy

Diabetes leads to a number of physical and physiological changes, diabetic foot is one of them.Diabetic foot is an umbrella term used to describe a number of problems that a chronic diabetic may face in the feet.People with a long history of diabetes often complain that while walking, they feel 'cloud' like sensation under their feet, this is due to altered sensory nerve conduction.Pain under the heel, burning,tingling,numbness or even faulty body balance can all be a result  of 'diabetic polyneuropathy'. Polyneuropathy as the name suggests, is a condition which symbolises improper  electrical conduction through multiple nerves in the foot.Swelling,delayed healing of injuries,change in the shape of toes/ toe nails are common features that describe this condition.Simple wounds get infected and may also form gangrene if proper care is not taken.Prevention is better than cure when it comes to diabetic foot.Regular foot examination,maintenance of hygiene and regul...
